If you had the choice of taking any rider to any class/team, who would it be?
As you see a different perspective than the commentators and the mechanics in MotoGP, you see the riders differently because you don't know them. So, if you based it upon true talent, what bike do you think they would do best on and develop?

Also, what they used to do when all the champions used to race together. If that could happen again, and you had to choose 5 riders to be in it, who would you choose?


I didn't know what else to do. The forum's going all quiet

I'd love to see Rossi on the Kawasaki, I believe he could challenge for the title on it. Just a hunch I have.

Nicky on a Yamaha, they've tried to poach him a few times, and I believe his laid back attitude would work better over there.

Nicky on a Ducati would be nice to see.
I think the Ducati will suit Elias this year and Nicky's style might just suit the bike also.

What laid back attitude? Hes one of the hardest working riders on the grid, i think a fairly decent HRC employee.

Not sure that McCoy belongs with those names.. If you had of put Ago or someone like that, then maybe..

Unless you want Gazza there simply for the entertainment value, sliding around, bagging up the rear and crashing alot...

Definately there for entertainment value! When he was on song on the 500, there was no one better to watch!

I would love to see Colin Edwards on a Repsol Honda just to see if he can win a race.

Umm, incase you havn't actually been watching MotoGP this year, the Repsol Honda isn't exactly the bike u wanna be on for guaranteed wins..

Would definitely throw in good old Giacomo Agositini. Don't know who I'd sacrifice though. Can we be allowed 6?

AND we'd need a time machine of course.....I've always wanted one. Anyone have a spare one lying around??

Ah! That De Lorean....I grew up dreaming I'd wake up and find my crazy uncle would have dumped one in our garage in the night. Still gutted it never happened.

King of slides is great until you remember we are talking about racing not showing off. He isn't good enough.
